Result OF the Public Sale on saturda,

which is located adjoining the southeastern
portion Of the city, took place at Armory
Hall at l P. n. on Saturday. The owner Of
the property, F. D. Myers, is an Eastern
capitalist who has faith in the immediate
future Of this section and bought this tract
for the purpose of laying it off in small
building lots, so that people who work in
the city could secure home just outside
the corporation limits. He has made ar.
engagements to build and equip street rail
road which will connect with the O-street
line on Twenty-fourth, running through
Highland Park tract, which will carry PEG.
pie from that section TO the depot for a
nickel. The road, it is said, will be in op-
Grafton inside of thirty days, and laborers
are now engaged in its construction. One
of the cars to be operated on this new road
was nut on the K-street line last Saturday
and drawn by four grays.
The assemblage was called to order by
Lincoln White, who stated the object and
terms Of SALE and then introduced p. E.

fifteen to twenty houses on Highland Park
tract.

In an interview with Mr. Myers he ex-
pressed himself as being far from satisfied
with the prices realized. The cause is at
tributable to the circulation of reports be-
AOAE dEA lulillS liS bfiAO " lIC tLSCl llldi
his road would not be built. Mr.. Myers
expresses surprise that his good faith in the
enterprise can be questioned-when the
purchaser holds written contract to the
effect that No payments will be due after
the purchase money has been paid until
cars are running to the tract" The condi-
tons of the subscriptions to the railroad
from property holders on the line do not
make the subscriptions due until cars are
running 80 days, and large proportion of
these subscriptions also bind Mr.. Myers to
operate the road from two to five years
Mr.. Myers thinks these terms will appar-
emily be great news TO the doubling
Thomases of Sacramento valley whose hos
pitabe bosom be and his family had chosen
for their future home. He is not discour-
aged, however but will proceed with his
railway the same as though he enjoyed ~
the confidence of the community.
